Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X20S is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 8 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 38 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X20S
The HLSL8X20S is a symmetrical cross-roller slide table cylinder combining an 8 mm bore, 20 mm stroke double-acting dual-rod cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide - AirTAC's highest-precision guide class. Cross-rollers deliver high rigidity and low deflection so the table travels straight even under offset loads, and the symmetrical version gives you two usable mounting faces on the same body. The dual rods double the light push of this small bore, and the floating joint isolates the rods from side torque applied by the workpiece.
A genuine AirTAC part, it is magnet-fitted as standard with magnetic-switch slots accepting CMSH, DMSH and EMSH switches. It operates on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), 50-500 mm/s, -20 to 70 C. The exact thrust, dimensions and load/moment ratings for this stroke come from the on-page specification table or datasheet - ask us and we will confirm them.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC HL slide-table data. Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The table rides on an integrated linear guide — do not apply strong impact or large moment. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, and overall dimensions vary per stroke — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
Bore 8 suits light-thrust duties; a 12, 16, 20 or 25 mm bore gives proportionally more push if your application needs it, and the 20 mm stroke sits within the published bore 8 stroke table. Within the HL family, HLSL is the choice for maximum guide precision and rigidity (cross-rollers); HLQ offers anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing travel, HLH the best straightness from a miniature roller-ball guide, and HLF a low-height cross-roller body. This basic version uses the standard bumpers with no add-on adjuster; if you need end-of-stroke deceleration, look at the SA or SBS variants. Thread is PT as coded, with G and NPT (T) options. For allowable load, moment and kinetic energy, rely on the published tables and curves - we will size it with you on request.
Applications
Pick-and-place
A precise 20 mm straight stroke makes this slide table a clean pick-and-place axis for small electronic or machined parts.
Small-parts transfer
Mounted body-up or body-down, the symmetrical table shuttles parts between tray nests or conveyor lanes on a rigid cross-roller path.
Assembly stage
Use it as a short pressing or inserting stage where the guide's low deflection keeps the tool aligned with the part through the 20 mm stroke.
FAQ
Is the magnet on HLSL8X20S an option I have to order?
No. The whole HL series is magnet-fitted as standard - there is no non-magnetic variant to decline. Position detection is by CMSH, DMSH or EMSH switches seated in the magnetic-switch slots on the body.
How much side load can the table carry?
The cross-roller guide handles offset loads far better than a plain rod, but allowable load, moment and kinetic energy are published as tables and curves per bore and stroke, not as one number. Contact us and we will confirm the ratings for this 8 mm, 20 mm stroke model from the datasheet.
